To be fair, I don't think he was gonna take a parting shot (or at least allowed to) in a statement released via LMA. If anything, he might do it when asked about his sacking/departure back in Italy.

CONTE RELEASES STATEMENT

Former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has released a statement through the League Managers Association after being dismissed by the club last week. 

He said: “I would like to thank all of my friends at Chelsea Football Club for their hard work and support over the past two seasons which enabled us to win the Premier League and FA Cup together. 
 
“To the players, whose talent and commitment was so important to our successes, I thank them for everything. It has been a pleasure working with them every day. To my staff, who always worked so hard, I must say thank you and well done for their professionalism and dedication throughout.
 
“I have enjoyed my time in England and London so much and I want to thank the Chelsea fans who have been amazing to me and my Family. It was fantastic for me to be able to share my emotions, passion and enthusiasm throughout two unforgettable seasons with these amazing Chelsea supporters, who will always stay in my heart.
 
“I hope Chelsea will continue to be successful and I wish everyone well for next season. I have made many memories during my time with Chelsea, which I will take with me into my next challenge.”

 

I really don't understand why people think this kind of statement is "class act". Its pretty obvious its a pr statement made by pr people. After all Conte right now is a football manager without a job, and its natural that he must leave the impression that he doesn't have bitter feelings towards his former employers.

Its a shame how it ended but the guy has got so much class.

He could have taken a parting shot, he was sacked after one day of pre-season work, which is quite ridiculous but he didn't.

Conte probably didn't even write this stuff, and only gave the "ok" for the the pr people who are paid to write formal and "class" official statements.

Totally agree doesn't matter what walk of life your from golden rule never slag off your former employers. Must clubs have gagging clauses Chelsea have had them since Bates and when you think of the revolving door of managers we've had I can't recall any of them bad mouthing Chelsea.

I cant see what peeps think about this is BS

He thanks his FRIENDS, STAFF,players WITH COMMITMENT and FANS.

He never mentions Roman or the board. So OK it might have been touched up to help his english but I understood what he meant.

AC Milan I would lay wager. Gattuso just doesn't look a top class manager.
